I have an incredible sweet tooth and I just love candy: liquorice, lollipops, cotton candy, cookies, cupcakes… almost to many to mention. But, my all-time favorite candy is chocolate.
Chocolate is perhaps the ultimate comfort food. When you are stressed out, eating chocolate somehow makes you feel better. And when things are going well, it can make a good thing even better. Let’s face it, a little chocolate can make you happier!
I won’t turn down chocolate of any kind, but I really prefer dark chocolate. Although it’s not as sweet as its milk chocolate cousin, dark chocolate is packed with flavour. And it’s healthy! Scientific studies have shown that dark chocolate – sorry, milk and white chocolate don’t count – is packed with good-for-you antioxidants and nutrients. What more can you ask for?
And, as today, 28th October, is National Chocolate Day in America, I decided to honor this sweet treat by doing a chocolate themed photoshoot.
Chocolate! This is a word that evokes indescribable ecstasies. Is there a man, a woman or a child who has not desired it, who has not devoured it, and who the next moment has not dreamed of devouring it again?
